I think why parent are quiet about what is being taught in school is because they dont really care or too busy to think they can have a say

well that is what PTA or board of trustees are for
and if there is a minstry of education you can lobby for what you think ought to be taught in the curriculm, along with training the teachers themselves

all teachers need to be registered to teach


I think maybe in the US anybody can just be a teacher there is no oversight

yes that is true
its not all IN YOUR FACE gospel...a lot of the groundwork must be made first, the soil needs to be prepared
Yes exactly I mean who is going to listen to a random person yelling at them on the street? you have to think of spreading the gospel like a gardener you find good soil to plant your seed you gently place your seed and cover it with good oil you water it and pamper it with sunlight and fresh water and it grows in time.

The same way with planting the seed in others, if the seed is planted in the soil of a person don't rush it or over due it gently pamper the seed with water and sunlight by gently guiding them to Christ letting them slowly come to him on their own terms let them become curious guide them don't force them. give them a verse por two that speaks to a certain situation their in to peak their curiosity there are many ways to bring people to Christ once that seed is planted but there is a way to do it and people react better to the slow and gradual apprach rather than the in your face loud and proud way, yes it is bold and shows your ion fire for God but scares people away

girls need to be taught to love their bodies, to understand what happens when they go through puberty and how to conduct themselves...esp around age 9-13 whn starting menstruation

boys need to be taught what their bodies are capable of too and to respect girls and also how to control themselves


Boys develop later than girls though they still need to be aware of the power their bodies have esp as they grow older and start shaving etc.

are you a teacher

I live in nz, and work in public schools its not taught like that

america must have odd teaching standards or none at all.
Maybe NZ's different, but in the US kids are being exposed to things in public schools like the Genderbread Person and Drag Queen Story Hour in public libraries. And they get cultural messages constantly through the media and entertainment.

John MacArthur, John Hagee, Paula White-Cain, Wayne Grudem, Darrell Scott, Franklin Graham, Kenneth Copeland, Paul Crouch, Jentezen Franklin, Robert Jeffress, Guillermo Maldonado, Al Mohler, James Robison, Don Stewart and other Christian leaders endorsed a serial philanderer (Trump) who was recorded saying:

"I moved on her, and I failed. I'll admit it.
I did try and f*** her. She was married.
And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, "I'll show you where they have some nice furniture." I took her out furniture—I moved on her like a b****. But I couldn't get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony t*** and everything. She's totally changed her look.


I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the p****. You can do anything."

And they still support him today.

IMO, the church has been anything but quiet. They have been actively selling their birthright for a bowl of soup ("lower taxes and lower cost of gas", etc.). And they're preparing to do it again.

What's incredible are the people in church who, after endorsing Trump, think they still charged to be counter-culture warriors.

Paul say in 2 Corinthians 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. Now any Christian in their right mind wouldn’t dare say that it’s okay to steal, kill or commit adultery or break any of the other seven commandments. But when it comes to the fourth commandment, people avoid it like a plague! They are either uninformed about which day is the Sabbath day of the God of the Bible or they are just following the tradition of religion that was passed down through the family or maybe they have let some preacher give them other excuses for ignoring God’s true day of worship.

Jesus say in (Mat.7:21) “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven”. For students to succeed in school, students learn to follow their teachers' instructions, and learn their lessons carefully. But few apply this method when they are dealing with the word of God. Is Jesus your Lord? Then why don’t you do the things he says. (Luke 6:46) “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say”? He told you plainly: (Ex 20:8-10) (v.8) Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (v.9) Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: (v.10) “But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God”.

The world is falling apart. Jesus told us it would in Matthew 24 which I have written about.
Why are Christians not united in the Spirit of God to stand against the evil, the open disregard for what the bible, with God, and just good human decency says. Teaching transgender, guy, lesbian and even if you just want to know what the difference is between boys and girls in our schools. Why do we put up with teachers telling kids to send pictures of each other if they have questions about the opposite sex. Preschoolers, kindgardeners that if you thank you are a boy even if you are a girl it is ok to change your sex
From an on line post by Fox news.
Public schools in Washington state and Oregon are teaching topics related to gender identity to children as young as 5.
The Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), which oversees K-12 education in the state, defines "gender" as "a social construct based on emotional, behavioral and cultural characteristics attached to a person’s assigned biological sex." The OSPI set health education standards for all public schools in 2016, requiring children in kindergarten and first grade to learn that "there are many ways to express gender," while children in second and third grade are taught that "there is a range of gender roles and expression."

Students listen to their teacher during their first day of transitional kindergarten class at Tustin Ranch Elementary School in Tustin, California, on Aug. 11, 2021. (Paul Bersebach/MediaNews Group/Orange County Register via Getty Images)
The standards sparked a backlash last month after first-graders in the Edmonds School District were reportedly given materials about gender pronouns that taught gender can be broken down into three categories: a "girl," a "boy," and "neither or both." The district defended the assignment, saying it "is required to teach state standards."

Meanwhile, in Oregon, the state board of education adopted health education standards, also in 2016, requiring kindergartners and first-graders to "recognize that there are many ways to express gender" and to "provide examples of how friends and family influence how people think they should act on the basis of their gender."
Second-graders in Oregon are being taught to "recognize differences and similarities of how individuals identify regarding gender" and how to "communicate respectfully with and about people of all gender identities, gender expressions and sexual orientations."
Third-graders in the state are expected to be able to "define sexual orientation," as well as "recognize differences and similarities of how individuals identify regarding gender or sexual orientation."
I just read in the bible today Jesus mad a whip went into the tempel square and tore it up. Why they were disrespecting Gods house. Are the churches today disrespecting God by not standing up and saying this is wrong. I have been saved a short but I have been to churches, watched them on line and they are silent about this. During the early and middle part of Covid I was not going to church; but tell me why a pastor would allow mimself be taped and played on tv of him comming out and doing a "stripteese" so they could have church. Yes He was making fun of the obsurity of the rule that a strip joint was more open to the public than a church. Where was the church on this latest Supream Court Justus. I don't care that she was a woman, I don't care that she was black, I would not care if she was purple with pink pokadots. What I care about is that she has no reguard of the law of God, and our constution.
What do you thank would happen to me if I went into the church next Sunday and started turning thing over taking a whip to people and telling them to quit destroying Gods house stop turning it into a plce of false worship. That is what is happing to the churches today. I have not seen every church, I have not been to every church Your church may be different and I hope it is but if you are in a church that is silent on this they are supporting it. Jesus said we were to stand up against evil.
I will get off my soap box for know
It helps the soul to not listen to the 'news' too much; but rather be a part of broadcasting the good news:

(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds) 2 Peter 2:8 (KJV)

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15 (KJV)

The days of "conservative" Republicans vanished a few decades ago. Now the majority are RINOs and that is why America is on the brink of total destruction. The Biden administration and the Democrats are succeeding only because the RINOs stand by and do nothing to oppose them. As to the OP Christians (ordinary citizens) are protesting against all the Leftist evil propaganda in different ways.
I don't accept the results of this last election... The majority of Americans ARE constitutional Christians.

I was referring to the politicians in DC who claim to be "conservative" but are allied with the Communist Democrats. They use the word "Socialist" to deceive the public.

All that is true but we as Christians for far to long have let false teaching, the doctrine of men rather than the Word of God set the standers of our churches. Race has nothing to do with this it is not a black white thing it is a good vs evil thing and we as the body of Christ have the power to overcome it IF we would stand as one in Christ
I disagree... Race and Sexual identity are the "minority interest" political issues that the Democrats use to convolute the law. That's why we now have a racist and sexist supreme court judge!

kenallen, I'm hearing two things and I'm not sure which one you're concerned about, or both.

You say our churches have fallen away and no longer preach truth; on the other hand you seem to be saying we should take a more proactive stance against the unChristian social agendas of our time.

Do you believe if the churches preached more openly and directly against these things the body of Christ would be stronger?
I do believe that the church is not doing it's job on either. The church is more worried about butting people in the seats and passing the plate than Gods word and they are not speaking out against what is happing in our world today.

JAPOV I do agree with you that the church as a whole there are some good ones out there I just have not found one within 50 miles from my house. It is not just the Democrats that have turned their backs on God and it should never be a black white Etc. thing we are all Gods children. I was brought up that if you cut any of us we all bleed red.
